He’s only 2-3 as an NFL head coach, but man, Matt Patricia is sure choosing the right games to win so far. Taking advantage of turnovers (one through luck, two from great defense) and an unthinkable five missed kicks from Mason Crosby, the Detroit Lions stormed out to a 24-0 halftime lead over Green Bay and went into cruise control from there.
The 31-23 final makes it three straight wins over their biggest rival. Not only that, but it’s two easy victories over the two greatest quarterbacks of the era in a span of only 14 days.
